To bring up the notification shade, you can use the Android gesture of swiping down on the screen with two fingers. Start at the top of the screen, and make sure there's some space between your fingers. You can also bring up the notification shade with the Talk Back gesture by sliding your finger right and then down. Do this in one motion, remembering that you'll need to start somewhere near the upper left hand corner to give you room to make the gesture. Also, don't pause too long when you stop the horizontal gesture to the right and start the vertical gesture down. It's more important that you do this smoothly then it is you make a sharp 90 degree angle.

don't know if I'm just too inexperienced or what, but can't seem to get
to the screen they are talking about. they keep saying "swipe down for
this notification panel" or something, yet that doesn't seem to do
anything. Well, will keep trying. haha...thanks.

Hi. Look in quick settings which you get through your notification
screen. You can turn it off in there.

hello everyone. i'm new. not just to this list, but to Androids and
smartphones as a whole. I waited to take the plunge for a long time but
couldn't avoid it any longer. it's been interesting so far, although
a real
learning curve for me, as i've never really used a touch screen before.

I bought this Samsung Galaxy Express 3J120 from a local store. I have
the
book on Android usage with Talkback produced by National Braille
Press, and
although some things on my phone do seem to be different, it has been
really
helpful so far. One thing that i can't seem to do though is turn off the
auto-rotate feature. My sighted girlfriend and i have looked in both
display
and accessibility settings and in the online manual, and just can't
find a
bloody thing. She has a Samsung Galaxy S6 (I think that's what it is)
and
the option was there and easily locatable. What's going on? Have they
gone
crazy? I hate that my phone does this, and I understadnd that many
sighted
people do as well and would choose to have autorotate turned off, so
it's
not even really an accessibility thing. Any ideas?

Also, I have to admit that I'm finding text and number entry to be
rather
difficult. I know it's a learning thing and I've been told it could take
many weeks before I really get the hang of it. that's fine; I can
deal with
it. But, any pointers would be appreciated, most definitely. The
double tap
thing in Talkback definitely helps, but I still have to struggle for
minutes
to type in a simple text message. I'm basically at the point of nearly
resigning myself to using voice commands for a lot of things.

Thanks in advance.
